If a 14-year-old girl wanted DMs for her birthday...

... what else would she like? DMs have been given by another relative, and I know she got some nice toiletries from Space NK. I'd like to not do a voucher as I did that last year. Any ideas?

A leather jacket?

wonkhamstrong · 18/11/2020 17:02

I think she's got a (fake) one already (good shout tho)

MAC make up / voucher ?

ThePlantsitter · 18/11/2020 17:05

Among Us Tshirt?

SallyTimms · 18/11/2020 17:06

Another surprise pair of dms? You can never have too many pairs!

ThePlantsitter · 18/11/2020 17:07

Or a Banksy hoodie

GrrrrrrArghhhhh · 18/11/2020 17:07

DM handbag?

wonkhamstrong · 18/11/2020 17:42

Thanks everyone! These have given me some food for thought. I'll admit I had to look up "among us"... I don't think she's into games though.

Is Mac considered cool? I was going to go for Glossier if I did make up but maybe that's more of a USA thing

DP's 15 year old niece was very interested in my Urban Decay eyeshadow palette when she was here last.

I've got her a similar but smaller Huda Beauty one for Christmas. About the same level of cool I believe?!? (Hope so anyway!)

Now I'm stuck for what to get her 13 year old sister who's more of a tomboy and not really into make up yet.

wonkhamstrong · 18/11/2020 18:09

Thanks Duzzy, that could definitely work. She's tomboyish but does like black eyeliner!

Something from Urban Outfitters.

balzamico · 18/11/2020 18:26

If you're in the same town a voucher for a vintage clothes shop. That's what my dm wearing dd would love

wonkhamstrong · 18/11/2020 18:27

Hi Balzamico, we are unfortunately a long way away, otherwise I'd love to take her vintage shopping!

I think they're cool but then I'm 37... HmmGrin
binkyblinky · 18/11/2020 18:31

What about a pair of run & fly or lucy & yak dungarees?

Tweetypietwo · 18/11/2020 18:35

A checked shirt? My dsd is very tomboyish and loves a check shirt.
Oversized denim jacket?
Levis top/hoodie?

LynetteScavo · 18/11/2020 18:39

What's your budget?

Something from Brandy Melville? Air Pods? A bag (find out which one, my DD has a Longchamp pliage and wears DMs- but then she also uses sometimes uses a vans backpack, having abandoned her Fjallraven.

AsCoolAsKimDeal · 18/11/2020 18:40

A satchel

Hazelnutlatteplease · 18/11/2020 18:41

Dr Martens laces.

peardrops1 · 18/11/2020 18:43

Glossier for cool and classy teen make up!

Candleabra · 18/11/2020 18:44

Blimey, docs are expensive now. (Not the point of the thread!)
Another vote for urban decay pallette.

MrsPnut · 18/11/2020 18:44

I have a 14 year old, on her second Fjallraven backpack. She doesn’t do make up but 23 year old is and loves Huda and Fenty beauty. She also loves Spectrum make up brushes and beauty blenders.

whyareyoulying · 18/11/2020 18:45

Avoid clothing and accessories, teenagers can be very fussy.
I'd stick to the toiletries or makeup from space NK.
Face masks, mascara, eyeliner, hair care are all easy options for a teenage girl

SionnachRua · 18/11/2020 18:48

What about an Oodie?
